Databases Table
The Databases table stores content database records that list content databases and the associated settings in a Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services deployment. Each virtual server in the deployment hosts a content database.
Warning Modifying the database schema or database structures is not supported.
Changes that you make to the database contents may be overwritten when you install updates or service packs for Windows SharePoint Services, or when you upgrade an installation to the next product version.
